Hezbollah says it targeted Israeli tank on edge of Lebanese border village

Hezbollah said it targeted an Israeli tank on the edge of a Lebanese border village on Tuesday, hours after Israel's defense minister ordered his troops to take control of more strategic positions inside Lebanon.

In a statement, the pro-Iran armed group said: "In response to the criminal Israeli aggression... and after monitoring movements by the Israeli enemy army in Tel Nahas on the outskirts of Kfar Kila, our fighters targeted a Merkava tank with appropriate weapons and scored a direct hit."

Earlier Tuesday a Lebanese army source told AFP Israel was undertaking a ground incursion "from Kfar Kila and the Khiam plains" along the Lebanon-Israel border.
